Subject: Improve HTTP behaviour when name lookup fails.
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9c70f8b1cb12e4beb9cc854e3891a58d20b61d4;p=simgear.git

Improve HTTP behaviour when name lookup fails.

Don't endlessly re-send requests when name lookup fails; inform the next layer up so it can decide whether to retry.
